LinqToSql static DataContext in a web application

Question

In a web application that I have run across, I found the following code to deal with the DataContext when dealing with LinqToSQL

public partial class DbDataC         


        

Answer 1

I have done many Linq to Sql web apps and I am not sure if what you have would work.

The datacontext is supposed to track the changes you make to your objects and it will not do that in this instance.

So when you go hit submit changes, it will not know that any of your objects where updated, thus not update the database.

You have to do some extra work with the datacontext in a disconnected environment like a web application. It is hardest with an update, but not really that bad. I would not cache and just recreate it.
